I'm continually impressed! I don't think I've ever looked forward to a mod so much before and you're doing excellent work.

One little thing I'd like to point out from the roundabout pic is that Canada (BC at least) doesn't use those little triangular yield markings that some other places do, we just have the dashed line, like so:

We also have these special roundabout arrows leading up to them (but not inside), which I'm sure you're aware of already anyway haha

I know I've pointed little things out before so hopefully I don't seem like I'm nitpicking :P
I understand there's a lot of working with prefabs and that not everything can be picture-perfect.

Speaking of past nitpicks though, I see left-side traffic lights at some of those intersections! I highly doubt it was my input that prompted this improvement but it's very nice to see in any case :P

With each day that passes, it brings us closer and closer to v1.0. Closing out this year is going to be a ton of fun. With SCS now giving us lowboys for trailer ownership, all my wishes are coming true for ATS. The holidays this year will be some fun times.

Can confirm that roundabouts are marked by the same standard in Alberta (at least the ones here in Calgary). I tried to do some google maps some other places in Canada but I couldn't find many multi lane roundabouts anywhere I looked east of that other than one on Ottawa where they are marked the same but with the triangular yield markings on the pavement.

These things are fine because a road marking can always be fixed post release. They did a good job with the differences in places such as Finland and Norway so I don't see why they won't eventually get these close to perfect even though they are already pretty close.

Kamloopsian here, and I really enjoyed seeing my hometown! I not only recognized general areas, but individual buildings and even individual signs. Once or twice a month, I drive the route from @2:22 to about @7:00-ish. If someone plopped me in the game where this video began, and told me to drive to Salmon Arm without any map or nav, I'd have followed that exact route.

My only criticism is that Mount Paul & Mount Peter @0:00 and @15:07 aren't recognizable. Well that, and the advisor speed limits are incorrect but I imagine that still needs work anyway.
